Surviving well, despite the lack of visibility of the neo-roots english
scene at the end of the millennium, Steve Mosco AKA Jah Warrior is always
on the run with surprising productions, well packaged with intelligence
and good taste.
Jah Warrior doesn't change, it is always roots and steppers of the most
heavy kind, but his quality becomes better year after year, thanks to
the experience, to his undeniable passion, and thanks to the strong contributors:
musicians like Hughie Izachaar and Jonah Dan, and the Conscious Sound
Studio with Dougie Wardrop.
After the last beautiful albums with old jamaican roots singers like Prince
Alla and Peter Broggs, now comes the original jamaican deejays meeting
the modern roots digital english riddims: a brilliant and unusual experimentation.
This "3 The Roots Way" is the typical album which can bring together various
types of reggae listeners. The nostalgic and revival followers can listen
to the performance of 3 real teachers of the seventies and early eighties
deejay style: Ranking Joe, U-Brown and Trinity are some of the best ever,
and they recently worked with the prominent reissue label and sound system
Blood And Fire.
The freshness and ability of these 3 veterans will also set an example
and provide inspiration to many youths, who have approached reggae with
the likes of Bounty Killer, Capleton, etc... Also the digital steppers
audience will be not disappointed, because of the solid riddims of this
album, especially in the inventive dub versions. The "intro" has always
been a distinctive element in the various ways of dubbing a version, and
the Jah Warrior dubs always have effective starts.
In any case, whatever your preferred kind of reggae is, tracks like the
Ranking Joe "Solomon's Weed" and the U Brown "Jungle Rock" are capable
of firing in any dance hall, making "3 The Roots Way" a very explosive
formula.
